Team Rocket on the Scene!

Hold on, where are we?! How in the world did we end up here?!

Weren't we on our way to some sort of jungle...?

Not anymore! We went off track after you two losers said ya saw a Mythical Pokémon!

That's right! We saw a Celebi! I think it flew off toward the forest.

Hey! What are you looking at?

We're about to head into the forest. Don't even think about following us!

Ack! What's with those Trainers and their weird masks?!

We found Celebi first!

We're outnumbered. Even if we fight 'em head on...

What do you want? You're interfering with our work here. Go away!

Wait a sec. I recognize that twerp... You're Scottie, ain't ya?

[EN:Gen Ref="255" M="He" F="She" ]'s one of the up-and-comin' young Trainers from the PML. If we get [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="'im" F="'er" ] to work with us...

I see. In that case...

We really want to save the Mythical Pokémon Celebi!

If Team Break catches it, I'm sure something bad will happen to it!

Please help us! We need your skills!

You want to save Celebi, don't you? Then hurry up and search for clues!

Team Break really bugs me for some reason! We can't let them have Celebi!

I've got a good feelin' that we can use you.

You're looking for Celebi, huh? What for?

Celebi is known as a forest deity. If you people are looking for it, that can only mean...

you're upstanding folks who want nothing but peace for the forest!

It's nice to meet upstanding folks who want nothing but peace for the forest!

Come on! Spit it out! Where's Celebi?

No way!

There's no way I'd tell bad guys like you!

Hold on! We can't win in a head-on fight.

Don't ask me. We can't win in a head-on fight.

Don't you remember what Meowth said? They have us outnumbered.

I only see that one guy over there right now.

Then this should be a piece of cake!

Wh-what do you all want?! I won't go easy on you if you're here to mess with me!

It's not nice to gang up on a guy like that!

All right, my little twerpsie-poo. Tell us where Celebi is, pleeease.

We aren't planning anything bad, you know. We just want to help Celebi.

C-Celebi went that way!

Please save Celebi! Some bad guys are after it!

There are bad guys everywhere, huh?

They're getting in the way of our plan. Let's show these so-called bad guys how out of their league they really are!

All those masked Trainers are blocking the way. We can't get through...

James, you didn't happen to bring one of your special robots, did you?

Not today, I'm afraid. We're trying to cut down on costs until we get to the jungle, remember?

Some jungle we heard about near a different town!

Yes! Our original plan was to catch Pokémon in that jungle!

We heard there were packs of rare Pokémon living there!

Don't give away our plan, you nitwit!

I don't care what ya do! Just do somethin' about this already!

In that case, we'll have to fall back on a tried- and-true classic that costs us nothing!

A pitfall trap!

The ground around here seems pretty firm, though. We need to find a spot where it's easier to dig!

Let's find some super-good dirt for digging a pitfall trap!

You can make quick work of any opponent if you just drop them down a pitfall!

Maybe we should dig a pitfall trap for Celebi... Oh, it can fly. I guess that wouldn't work.

Hey! Get back to work! You ain't got time to be slackin' off!

My Pokémon is a real gourmand! It seems to like the taste of the soil here.

Eat up so you can evolve all the way to Tyranitar!

That's right, eat up! That'll save us the trouble of having to dig pitfall traps!

Hey! Why'd you stop eating?

It says it's just eatin' a little bit of this good soil 'cause it doesn't wanna evolve.

It's sayin' this lady here probably won't wanna pat it on the head anymore if it evolves into Tyranitar.

It says that the ground near that lady is probably perfect for a pitfall trap.

Wowee! Be still, my beatin' heart!

You're better lookin' than any Mythical Pokémon, toots! How's 'bout we go get a coffee together?

Hey! What are you doing with my little Purrloin?!

How 'bout ya mind yer own business!

What?! A talking Meowth?!

Ohhh! That's too cute! I can't take it!

She says her Trainer's crazy about cat Pokémon.

The ground here's too hard. I think we've gotten pretty far away from the good dirt.

My Nincada burrowed into the ground and won't come out.

Lemme talk to 'em. Let's see here...

It says it's lost all its confidence from losin' all the time.

Nincada grow up in the dirt, so this is sorta like homesickness or somethin'.

I bet it would regain its confidence if it won a Pokémon battle. Why don't you fight it and lose, Meowth?

Oh, please! Would you? C'mon, Nincada, it's time for a battle!

Wow! That experience made Nincada evolve into Ninjask!

Hey, wait! Now you're getting a little TOO fired up!

Not too hard, not too soft. This is good dirt. Perfect for a pitfall trap, wouldn't you say?

All right! This is our spot! You help too, twerp!

Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!

Now all we gotta do is lure Team Break this way and make 'em fall down this hole!

Why, you, ! How could I fall for such a classic trap?

The ground here's no good for pitfall traps.

Look for good dirt that would make Pokémon wanna dig right in.

The ground here's no good for pitfall traps.

We found Celebi!

Erm, sorry. Did we interrupt?

We're outnumbered. C'mon, let's get outta here for now.

Hold on!

We'll fight with you! We gotta pay you back for helping us!

Yeah! And I can't forgive anyone who would bully Pokémon!

Let's all save Celebi together!

Wh-who are you guys?!

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect the world from devastation!

To unite all peoples within our nation!

To denounce the evils of truth and love!

To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Meowth, that's right!

Have we ever been this well received?

Never! I sure am glad we came to Pasio!

Let's get down to business!

We'll show you what real evildoers are like!

Y-you'll regret this!

Hah! Not an ounce of originality in their parting shot, either.

Now we can take our time catching Celebi...

Looks like Celebi managed to get away!

I'm glad those bad guys didn't catch it!

Thank you, heroes!

You've got to be KIDDING me!

Well, Celebi got away. Should we start heading to that jungle now?

After coming all this way and having nothing to show for it? Never! I've got my pride, you know!

I'll just pretend to join that twerp's team and wait until [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="he" F="she" ] lets [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="his" F="her" ] guard down...

then you two can sneakily steal [EN:Gen Ref="255" M="his" F="her" ] team's partner Pokémon!

If we can get our hands on some strong Pokémon and bring 'em to the boss...

...We'll climb the ranks in no time flat!

Wow, Scottie! You sure are strong. I'm impressed!

Y'know what I'd just love? If you, like, let me join your team or whatever.

Great! Say hello, Arbok!

You don't want me?! I don't care if you turn me down! I'll tag along anyway!
